This is a sequel to the thread I posted where I said we should build skyscrapers so we can house millions of new people that will be born because of natalist policies. At first, this will be environment-friendly because we will not build as much housing and other buildings on nature. I think nature is good for the environment because plants convert CO2 to oxygen. In the long run, however, we might need to destroy one-story houses and any other non-skyscrapers to replace them with skyscrapers. Skyscrapers can house rooms and stores, and other things people need. We'll probably need to build on nature, but global warming is probably a hoax.
Now, the question is how many people can the Earth house? According to Google, "The most population-dense city in the world is Manila, Philippines, with a population density of 119,600 people per square mile (46,178 per square kilometer), according to worldpopulationreview.com." According to Google, "The total area of the United States is approximately 3,809,525 square miles." Those two numbers multiplied is: 102,918,127,400. That's 102 billion. The US can house 102 billion people.
But I'm not advocating to be like Manila. I'm advocating for skyscrapers. In that thread, I said we should build Burj Khalifa skyscrapers, but now I realize that's not right. It has 163 stories and only 1204 rooms. Divide those two is 7 rooms per story. That's not much. We need to build a different sort of skyscraper. Google says, "The skyscraper with the most rooms is The Palazzo in Las Vegas, which has 3,068 rooms." I can't find out how much floor area it has so I'm going to do the math with another skyscraper. Google says, "The skyscraper with the most rooms is Ciel in Dubai. It is set to be the world's tallest hotel and boasts 1,004 rooms, including 147 suites, across 82 floors Newsweek reports." According to CNN, "For the project, Jan was tasked with designing the skyscraper on a triangular plot of land at Dubai Marina with an area of just 2,500 square meters – small for a building of that height." 3,809,525 square miles divided by 2,500 square meters is 3,946,649,780. That means we can build almost 4 billion Ciel skyscrapers. That's not exact since there should be sidewalks, roads, farmland, and other things. Multiply that by 1,004 is about 3,946,649,780,000. That's 3.9 trillion. The US can house 3.9 trillion people and possibly more if skyscrapers are made even bigger and with more rooms. And people can of course share rooms.
I'm not going to do the math for the whole Earth. It's going to possibly be more than quadrillions. The US is just one of hundreds of countries. There's 4.886 quadrillion square feet of land in the USA. I'm too lazy to do it.
Now the question is how long will it take 4 billion skyscrapers? I don't know, but a webpage says it took about 9 years to build Ciel. Perhaps it can be done quickly because a article is titled, "Chinese construction firm erects 57-storey skyscraper in 19 days." I'm not an expert.
